• Evidence for geochemical terranes on Mercury: Global mapping of major elements with MESSENGER's X-Ray Spectrometer (2015, background): “Major deposits of smooth plains in the northern hemisphere, including those in the northern lowlands and those associated with the Caloris basin, are outlined by solid lines (Denevi et al., 2013).”
• Mercury’s Weather-Beaten Surface: Understanding Mercury in the Context of Lunar and Asteroidal Space Weathering Studies (2014, background): “Smooth plains cover ∼27 % of Mercury’s surface, and at least two-thirds of these smooth plains units are volcanic in origin (Denevi et al. 2013).”
